THE Labour Party will win an
election with a gap of just un-
der 36,000 votes over the Na-
tionalist Party, MaltaToday's
February survey shows.
If an election is held tomor-
row, the projected result will
see the PL capturing 54.3%
of the vote, against the PN's
42.8%. ADPD would poll 1.9%.
The result will be similar to
that of the 2017 general elec-
tion, although the gap has de-
clined by just over 10,000 votes
since MaltaToday's January

MaltaToday survey projected
election result
643 respondents (31/1/22-4/2/22) • est. margin of
error 4.2% • confidence 95% overall
survey.
The projected result does not
attribute voting preference to
those who say they will not vote
and new voters unsure who to
vote for. Unsure voters, who
voted in 2017, are assumed to
be voting in line with their past
preference.
If all uncommitted new vot-
ers are assumed to vote for the
PN – an unlikely scenario – the
gap would drop to just under
26,000.
